- ↑ The catalogue Andrieux, sale from 12 March 1928, lot no. 174, indicates that this handwritten letter is dated 9 January 1915. In the absence of the letter’s original, we cannot verify whether the date is correct and handwritten [by the addresser] or noted down by the addressee. The fact that Proust asserts having seen “the day before yesterday” the name of the addressee’s brother amid those who died for their country, dates the letter 6 or 7 January (see note 4 below). But these chronological inaccuracies are frequent in his correspondence. [PK, FL]
